Monday morning, the former Chicago Cubs hurler was in Belmont Harbor, just north of the Windy City" when he discovered a dead body floating in the water. According to the Chicago Tribune, police were able to piece the puzzle together based on an identification bracelet being worn for the victim. As it turns out, the 40-year-old male was even reported missing earlier in the month. Per the cops, "Mr. Wood immediately notified 911 of this discovery." Now that's what I call...a complete game.

The two-time All-Star, 34, compiled an 8.64 ERA over nine games this season amid reported health problems.
Wood's wife signaled he was calling it a day in a Facebook message Friday that read, "Every story has an end but in life every ending is just a new beginning." A source close to Wood confirmed the move to ESPNChicago.
Wood, who earned the nickname "Kid K" for his 20-strikeout game during his rookie season in 1998, signs off as one of the most popular Cubs in recent memory after more than a decade with the franchise across two spells.
He left ahead of the 2009 season to join the Indians and spent part of the next year with the Yankees before securing a return to Chicago in late 2010.
Wood compiled an 86-75 career record and 3.67 ERA with 63 saves.18 May 2012 11:16:38 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/report_cubs_p_kerry_woods_to_retire/s1_8864_10821188

Wood, 34, resides in Chicago and has previously indicated that he would prefer to remain with the Cubs -- where he has spent 11 of his 13 big-league seasons. It appears that he will get his wish, even though the Cubs are entering a true rebuild for the first time in years.
Wood went 3-5 with a 3.35 ERA in 51 innings for the Cubs last season.
The Phillies had shown recent interest in Wood, sources say, and are expected to add a veteran reliever before Opening Day.11 Jan 2012 14:10:18 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/cubs_wood_close_to_one_year_deal/s1_8864_9276836
